What Is a Neuroma of the Foot?

A neuroma is a painful condition caused by the thickening of tissue around a nerve, most commonly between the third and fourth toes, often called a Morton’s neuroma. This nerve irritation can lead to sharp, burning pain, tingling, or the sensation of walking on a pebble. Without treatment, neuromas can worsen over time, limiting mobility and daily comfort.

Led by Megan Ishibashi, DPM, FACFS, KIN exemplifies the expertise of a fellowship-trained foot and ankle surgeon who is board-certified by the American Board of Foot and Ankle Surgery and holds hospital and surgery center privileges across West Los Angeles. She specializes in diagnosing and treating foot neuromas in West LA with both conservative and advanced therapies, such as PRP, shockwave therapy, injectables, custom orthotics, designed to reduce pain, restore function, and prevent long-term complications.

FAQs About Neuromas

Can a neuroma go away on its own?

No. Neuromas do not resolve without treatment, but symptoms may temporarily improve with shoe changes and rest. Professional care is recommended for lasting relief.

Is neuroma treatment painful?

Most treatments are minimally invasive and well-tolerated, with procedures performed under local anesthesia when needed. Patients typically experience significant pain relief with little downtime.

Can neuromas come back after surgery?

Recurrence is rare with proper treatment. Dr. Ishibashi uses advanced surgical precision and post-treatment strategies to minimize the risk of return.
